Ibrahim and the other doctors did not say how long Suharto was expected to remain hospitalized.

Hospital workers said Suharto was examined in the intensive care unit and then taken to a private room. He was wearing an oxygen mask, they said. Three of Suharto's six multimillionaire children were at the hospital.

Suharto, who is fending off allegations of mass corruption during his 32-year, iron-fisted reign, suffered what doctors and family said was a mild stroke on July 20. It reduced some of his body movement and slurred his speech.
